Like many people, I have a hard time falling asleep at night and waking up in the mornings. Especially with the recent time change and the sun setting earlier, my sleep is completely off, and the seasonal depression has set in early, adding to more tired and groggy days this November.

But one device has actually helped me form better habits for nighttime and morning routines. The Hatch Restore 3<!–> sunrise alarm clock has been a game-changer for me, and it’s currently on sale for a new low price of $135. Last week, it was $30 off as an early Black Friday deal, and Hatch just upped the ante by saving you an extra $5. This Hatch only goes on sale a few times a year, and always for $30 off, so this minorly improved offer is actually good. Now is a great time to buy one, especially if your sleep routine has been disrupted by the shorter days.
The Hatch Restore 3 was released earlier this year. New features include improved speakers from the previous generation, a new central button that makes it easy to turn things on and off (which is essential when you’re half asleep), new Unwind routines to help ease you into bed, and a personalized onboarding experience to identify your sleep challenges.
Review: This sunrise alarm clock helped improve my sleep routine
The Hatch app’s bedtime rituals are noticeably better than the previous version, and there are a lot more routines to choose from. You can pick a meditation, a bedtime story, ASMR, an in-bed stretching sequence, and even a podcast to set the tone for bedtime. By using these routines, I was able to stop scrolling my phone for a good hour before drifting off to sleep.
In addition, there are also “Morning Moments” which take place after your alarm goes off. This feature ranges from motivational talks to easy meditations, making your wake-up a lot more peaceful than immediately checking your social media pages.
If you’re looking to get better sleep and feel more refreshed in the mornings this winter, I recommend the Hatch Restore 3–> as a must-have device. It also makes a great gift for friends or family who are into wellness.
How I rated this deal
According to ZDNET’s deal-rating system, this 21% off deal should be a 3/5, but I rated it a 4/5 since I only ever see the Hatch Restore 3 go on sale a few times per year. This new $35 off savings is also the best price we’ve ever seen it offered for. You can pretty much only find it discounted during Prime Day and Black Friday, making this a limited-time deal that’s worth it.
This is an early Black Friday deal, so we expect this discount to last until the sales event officially starts on Friday, Nov. 28, and throughout that weekend as well.
